Through the Polos Creativos programme, promoted by the Regional Ministry of Education, Science, Universities and Vocational Training, and with the collaboration of IGFAE staff and its EduLab, the project \u2018A materia peza a peza\u2019, one of the largest didactic actions in particle physics carried out in Europe to date, was presented on Tuesday 5 November at the new headquarters of the IGFAE.<\/p>\n<p>Around 40 participants from the Teacher Training Network took part in the activity, in which the 500 \u2018matter kits\u2019 were prepared. They will be later be sent to the more than 450 centres that teach secondary education in Galicia. There were, in total, around 215,000 building blocks, which represent the fundamental elements of the matter that makes up everything we know.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Proton, neutron and electron kits<\/strong><\/h5>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"es\">\ud83d\ude80 Esta ma\u00f1\u00e1 presentamos no IGFAE \u269b\ufe0f &#8220;A materia peza a peza&#8221; \ud83e\uddf1 un proxecto para achegar a f\u00edsica de part\u00edculas ao alumnado da ESO en Galicia.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udd1dEn colaboraci\u00f3n co programa Polos Creativos de <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EduXunta?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@EduXunta<\/a>, levaremos 500 &#8216;kits&#8217; ata os centros de ensino.<\/p>\n<p>E como o fixemos? \ud83e\uddf5\ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TWWRHT7DE4\">pic.twitter.com\/TWWRHT7DE4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u26a1 Instituto Galego de F\u00edsica de Altas Enerx\u00edas \u269b\ufe0f (@IGFAE_HEP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IGFAE_HEP\/status\/1853854585158308310?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 5, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nEach of these bags consists of 420 building blocks, divided into three colours: 180 orange (representing the quarks \u2018up\u2019, 180 blue (quarks &#8216;down&#8217;) and 60 white (electrons).
